Kitchen Warehouse HQ

Project Outline

Western Architecture Studio purposefully designed Kitchen Warehouse’s new working space to encourage a vibrant, adaptive and inclusive work culture and environment. With a decentralised structure consisting of team members located in various locations, from Perth to the Philippines and Europe, their office aims to bring together a scattered workforce, both digitally and in-person, and provide a defined sense of identity.

From the early stages, lighting has played a crucial role in creating defined zones and functions within the open space. With generously-proportioned windows, the whole office is flooded with ample natural light throughout the day. In addition, artificial light sources also play a role in balancing the atmosphere, highlighting zones, and aiding the reading and definition of the office structure in the absence of physical barriers.

Rid itself of the formal reception, one of the entrance’s highlighting features is the Z-shaped LX Infinity Honeycomb suspended from the ceiling, creating a focal point for the space. As a well-rounded product range, the Titanium Series is featured throughout this office space. The Titanium Downlights are recessed and suspended along walkways, meeting lighting requirements for occupants to move safely between spaces. Meanwhile, the Titanium Suspended Starlights are positioned atop the cafeteria counter, fulfilling task lighting needs.

An open-plan design promotes flexible and informal interaction. Carefully arranged suspended acoustic panels and suspended LX Infinity Louvre Linear Light as task lighting defined workstations. The LX renders uninterrupted lighting distribution while minimising glare with its louvre design, perfect for the office environment.
